Without architects, we would be missing out on the myriad of beautiful buildings that have been built around the world. Of course, away from the breathtaking designs we all know and love, architects are vitally important for the design of functional buildings that are necessary in today’s society.

When any building is being designed for a site, however, there can often be plant life and trees nearby that may interfere with the structure or foundations of the planned building. In these cases architectural companies will need to find a qualified arboricultural consultant that can provide a BS5837 tree survey.

Once the BS5837 tree survey has been completed, the report provided will detail the possible risks and provide advice on how to continue.

Alternatively, the trees in question may be subject to a tree preservation order. TPO trees are considered to be culturally important or biologically significant to the surrounding area, and moving or cutting them down can lead to heavy fines.

Lally Tree Management are qualified to work with not only TPO trees, but also trees that are in a conservation area.

Depending on the construction site, trees can often add a lot of character to the grounds of a building – and often increase the value. This is especially true for older trees, that are irreplaceable are often very treasured by those who live nearby. To learn the value of a tree, an architect can simply contact an arboricultural consultancy company such as Lally Tree Management for a tree valuation.
